Published 22/01/26Staff, governors, students, family, and friends were all on hand to celebrate the graduating Class of 2025 at Springwood High School – including a special guest speaker who had travelled from the other side of the globe.
This year’s Sixth Form Prize Giving Ceremony saw around 100 of our former Year 13 cohort assemble to receive their certificates, while a number of other awards were also presented during the evening.
“Each department presented a subject award, so 35 in total, reflecting the large amount of subjects available at Springwood,” said Head of Year 13 Luke Rawling, who gave out the prizes, alongside Deputy Head Jamie Warner-Lynn. “We also had 53 County Scholars.”
The high achievers were joined for the celebration by former student Lauren Greengrass, who is currently studying for a Masters in Australia, and returned to the school to share her experiences of working in the field of Marine Biology.
Among those receiving additional accolades were Juan Camilo Cervantes Torres, who won the Queen’s Prize; Melissa Knight, who was given the Rotary Citizen Award; Reece Mann who was awarded the Peter Hopkins Goblet for Determination and Commitment; and Josie Draper and Rachel-Lee September who were joint winners of the Hanover Prize for Contribution to the Arts.
Around 250 parents, governors, staff members, and students gathered in the Peter Hopkins Hall for the annual event at our school, which is part of the West Norfolk Academies Trust.

Read MoreTough Contest for Spelling Bee
Published 08/01/26Students from all four West Norfolk secondary schools put their spelling skills to the test for the finals of a keenly-fought contest.
The West Norfolk Academies Trust event was held at Smithdon High School, and the Year 7 and 8 students had to come up with the correct spelling for a range of tricky words.
Among them were antidisestablishmentarianism, martyr, mnemonic and conscientious – but all the students rose to the challenge.
It was a close contest with teams from Marshland, St Clement’s, Springwood and Smithdon High schools all concentrating hard during a tough session of serious spelling.
Springwood High School took first place with Shanjana in Year 8 taking the title of the WNAT Spelling Bee Winner, and she was presented with the prize of an Amazon Kindle Fire and a trophy.
English Lead for the Trust, Sarah Murkin, organised the annual event which was the culmination of a round of heats within each school.
“All four schools competed with outstanding team spirit and integrity. Springwood secured the win, closely followed by Marshland, St Clement’s and Smithdon. Every team delivered a fantastic performance, making the event a true celebration of talent and sportsmanship,” said Amira O’Neill, English teacher at St Clement’s High.
Each of the Trust’s secondary schools take it in turn to host the annual finals and this year was Smithdon’s turn just before the Christmas break.
